It's been going on for months, especially VPN users.

Okay, I'll click your Google link —

It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search

— and certainly none mentioning Newpipe 🤷

Maybe it's that "cleaner Google" url hack (udm=14) that's reallllly cleaning it up for ye?

Or just Google doing their best filter bubble. I don't think they have any useable info on me any more, haven't used their search for ages.

Either way, I'll take your word for it and just thank my lucky star that I can continue to use Newpipe without problems.
